it says "Buon Giorno"
thank you! if you noticed I have already made several videos with your Mach4 Lathe!
If I can afford to give advice, if the license cost a lot less, the spread of Mach4 Hobby would be much bigger!
It is an excellent program, but its cost is holding back its diffusion.

it seems to me you can control the spindle with step / dir signal via OB output. ask cslab for confirmation. what plugin have you installed? I have on the 3.205 I am fine. 3.305 was giving me system stability problems.

For information:
when Mach4 is updated, I will have to wait until there are updated plugins related to our controllers, is that correct?
